perito moreno

The western face of the Perito Moreno glacier in Southern Patagonia, Argentina. By no means the biggest glacier on the South American continent, it is the most accessible and with an ice field larger than the city of Buenos Aires, it's one of the only glaciers in the world that is still actively growing. It was pretty awesome and I was lucky enough to be there earlier this year when it was rupturing. On this day in particular we ice trekked for 4 hours around the side of the glacier then up into the heart of it, if you look closely in the lower left of my photograph, you can see trekkers in red and blue jackets climbing across the rocks and heading onto the glacier.
